“Sharknado 2: The Second One is one of the most entertaining experiences you’re going to have watching television this year. Bravo, to SyFy for embracing the absurdity of Sharknado and running with it to the highest degree. So, Sharknado 3: The Third One, same time next year, guys?”
I said this four years ago on this very site.
Four years later I can thankfully say I never have to review another Sharknado movie again.
What started out as a silly concept with some clever moments and in-on-the-joke ridiculousness morphed into a complete and utter dumpster fire.
Yes, the idea of a “sharknado” is absurd, but extrapolate that idea out over four years and involve intergalactic shark wars, Dolph Lundgren inventing time travel, and a robot army of Tara Reid clones …you get my point.
The Last Sharknado feels like a film where absolutely no one cared. It rushes from scene to scene so quickly that you don’t even realize what you’re watching is literally wasting moments of your life.
The plot makes zero sense — Fin has to destroy the final sharknado during the era of the dinosaurs. But somehow because his son is time traveling (thanks to a helmet with a shark fin on it) more sharknados keep happening. So Finn and his friends have to travel to Camelot, the Wild West, 1950s California, and the future to destroy the sharknados. And then in the end, back in 2013, the severed robotic head of Tara Reid must detonate its nuclear core to close a rip in time and destroy the sharknado phenomenon. Oh and there’s an army of futuristic Tara Reid clones too.
None of this is a joke. This all happens, and it’s done so poorly you can barely fathom that SyFy poured money into this film to be made.
But you know what, I give major credit to Ian Ziering. He is given some of the most ludicrous stuff in the world, and he does it with conviction. He never mails it in, and I commend him for that. Others would’ve literally slept walked through these films, but Ziering really swings for the fences.
That’s the only nice thing I can say. The Last Sharknado is garbage. Luckily, we’ll be spared of these films for the rest of our lives.
